Just want to add that the ones I made this year I glued and screwed some small blocks on each stake about 12'' from the bottom that you can put your foot on to plant them into the ground. K
f350 you are full of idea's
Now ya know what I do at work! K
oh I already know what you do it involves a type of fastener and mans best friend
Sorry guys I said pvc ,but it actually is 1 1/4 high pressure water line. This is supple enough to bend a bit but still in the 6 ft length stands up, you can bend it inwards to, when I get this pic. thing working will post it
I have a commercially manufactured blind that folds up like a camping chair and fits into a carry bag. I'll look in my storeroom and check on the measurements and maybe a selling price as I don't have a need for it.
Update.
I still haven't measured the blind but I found another that I made out of conduit. It is pretty easy to do; cut the height and width and join them with a 90 degree bend piece that is available and the collar/set screw that joins them. The bottom of the side pieces are flattened with a hammer to let the be pushed into the ground. Zip tie camo material to the section and create as many sections as desired. I zip tied the camo to the top crosspiece only and used the loop of elastic and balls, whatever they are called and anchor the sides after the blind is erected. For transport, remove the loop/balls, roll the camo up on the cross-piece, lay the side conduit on top and secure the package with the loop/balls. Very lightweight.

Why do the ducks come just after I pour my coffee?
I made one, took about 15 min to cut lengths and glue connectors on, another 15 min to paint the frame camo.
I plug it all together quickly in the marsh, once the legs are burried a few inches its good and rigid. Then I toss a blind cover over the tops and down one side, works well. Photo of it below (sorry the angle isint great)
I also found this plan online the other day... looks like a dandy setup. http://www.huntingnet.com/fieldjourn...l.aspx?nID=452
I'm asusual a bit behind the times BUT if anyone is checking out old posts for good ideas like i do liengths of rebar about 18" sharpened with + pieces to push them into the ground 1 for each corner they fit in your day pack or decoy bag the conduit slides right over them great for frozen ground and really stable.
Picked myself up one of these... it's arrived, going to get it on Sat.
